Case Study: Nuffield Health centralises pathology compliance with Ideagen Q-Pulse

Nuffield Health centralizes pathology compliance with Ideagen EHS across 13 hub labs

Nuffield Health, a UK network of hospitals and wellbeing centers, faced the challenge of centralizing pathology compliance activities across its 13 hub laboratories and numerous spoke sites. Their previous paper-based system and subsequent SharePoint solution were inadequate for managing equipment, training, audits, and corrective actions, making it difficult to maintain compliance with standards like ISO 15189. To address this, they turned to vendor Ideagen EHS and its Q-Pulse quality management solution.

By implementing Ideagen's Q-Pulse, Nuffield Health successfully created a central database for its pathology quality management system. The results included the management of over 1,200 documents, tracking of 900 assets, storage of over 100 audits, and the rollout of a training module for 170+ staff. The solution provided better visibility, streamlined audit oversight, and simplified compliance management, with the customer praising the system's configurability and Ideagen's excellent support.
